  Hi @chrisbrann, let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this.

  – Can you let us know which site you’re seeing this error with?

  – Are you using WordPress.com/post to edit the site?

  – If you log out at https://wordpress.com/me/account and then log back in, does that help at all?

  and trying to edit or post It was not allowing me to do either or edit a page

  I I can not see where I can sign out as the whole page has changed and does not seem to give me that option

  Okay, could you try to clear your browser’s cache and see if that helps? You can find here more information on how to clear the cache depending on your browser:

  Hi
  Thank you
  Signing out and clearing seems to have sorted the issue
  Hope it doesn’t happen again

  God Bless you
